SL call up uncapped Kaushal for Tests

The uncapped 19-year-old spinner is part of a 15-man squad to face New Zealand for two Test matches.

Colombo: Uncapped offspinner Tharindu Kaushal has been included in Sri Lanka’s Test squad for the series against New Zealand despite never playing a domestic first-class of one-day match. The 19-year-0ld was already in Sri Lanka’s ODI squad against the visitors but has now found a spot in the Test frame, while left-arm fast bowler Chanaka Welegedara earned a recall after recovering from injury.

Also in the 15-man squad for the Test series starting in Galle on November 17 were the pace-bowling pair of Dhammika Prasad and Shaminda Eranga. They replaced Thisara Perera and Nuwan Pradeep.

There were no other changes to the squad that played Pakistan earlier this year.
